Britannicus

Part political thriller, part family drama, Britannicus depicts twenty-four hours in the life of Emperor Nero that were to change the course of Roman history. Agrippina, widow of the Emperor Claudius, has paved the way for her son Nero to succeed to the throne ahead of his step-brother Britannicus. But as Nero’s taste for power grows stronger, Agrippina struggles to keep control of her son as he edges Rome ever closer to catastrophe.
